i think by and large, city departments are run and mostly staffed by incredibly competent people. But, we have to have an environmental department that deals with all measures of the environment such as clean air, water, streets, rats, trash etc. DPW just isn't enough to cover all the environmental issues that an urban city faces. If the city would make the investment in such a department, the economic development climate would improve--i would stake several gross of donuts on it.

I'd like to see the DRC come up with a sensible and fare signage code for Downcity. Now pretty much everything is subject to review and it can take months of being sent away with comment to finally get an approval. There should be guidelines that retailers can choose to adhere to and erect signs without having to visit the DRC (and those guidelines should be liberal enough to foster an exciting visually dynamic streetscape). If retailers want to go for something outside the parameters of the approved guidelines, only then should they have to go to the DRC for consultation and approval.

The chain of events began June 1, 2007, when Carter left the ACI on probation. He is charged with participating in seven robberies from June 2 through June 13 and the slayings on June 14, and then he stands convicted of 10 robberies in Florida from June 15 through June 28.

(change the sentencing laws regarding sentencing violators of probation and suspended sentences, limiting the amount time a defendant be sentenced to jail on a violation of sentence/time remaining on their original sentence, or less)
